Sri Krishna Paarijatam By Shobha Naidu: Events in Hyderabad

After an unwarranted hiatus, ladies and gentlemen, the diva herself. Please reserve your tables.

Sangeeta Kalanidhi Chitoor Subramanyam Sangeeta Kshetra is organising a Kuchipudi dance recital by Dr Shobha Naidu, on 13th October, at Sri Thyagaraya Gana Sabha. The recital is part of Chitoor Subramanyam's memorial day celebrations, and will feature Dr Shobha Naidu and her group of artistes, performing a Kuchipudi ballet, Sri Krishna Parijatam.

Sri Krishna Parijatam story is about how trouble-maker Narada tries to brew mischief as he tinkers with the emotions of Satyabhama and Rukmini. He presents Lord Krishna with a flower, Parijata, from heaven, asking him to give it to someone. Lord Krishna gives it to Rukmini.

Narada reports this to Satyabhama, who is enraged with the Lord. To pacify her, Krishna has to bring in that very tree from heaven and plant it at Satyabhama's place. But that is not the end of it. The flowers of the tree fall in the garden of Rukmini, who uses it to worship the Lord. This further irks Satyavama. And the story continues...

Nritya Choodamani and Sangeet Natak Academy Awardee Dr Shobha Naidu needs no introduction. She is one of the foremost Kuchipudi dancers of India and an outstanding disciple of the renowned master Dr Vempati Chinna Satyam. She runs a dance school called Kuchipudi Art Academy, near Domalguda, and was awarded the Padmasri.
